At the command line, run the following command:

# stat -c "%n is owned by %U and group owned by %G and permissions are %a" /usr/sbin/auditctl /usr/sbin/auditd /usr/sbin/aureport /usr/sbin/ausearch /usr/sbin/autrace

If any file is not owned by root or group-owned by root or permissions are more permissive than "750", this is a finding.

At the command line, run the following command for each file returned for user and group ownership:

# chown root:root <file>

At the command line, run the following command for each file returned for file permissions:

# chmod 750 <file>
